I am posting them here so you have it as a reference.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When we take notes for a project, here are some tips!<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Record your notes in your journal.<\/li>\n<li>Write down the resource you are using first, then write notes.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you know what information you are looking for before you start.<\/li>\n<li>Read the instructions for the project to make sure you are asking the right questions about the thing you are researching.<\/li>\n<li>Use a T-Chart OR organize your notes by question. On one side of the T chart, write down the question. On the other side, write down the answers you find.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t copy down everything you read. Only write down key points! Do write down enough so you can remember what you read.<\/li>\n<li>Use your own words to summarize what you read, rather than copying.<\/li>\n<li>Keep your notes neat so you can find them and use them for your project later!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>When you find resources for your research, here are some tips!<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use information that is more recent. For books, in the last 15 years, and for websites in the last five years are general guidelines you could use.<\/li>\n<li>Use books first if you can. They have well-research and well-presented information.<\/li>\n<li>In books, use non-fiction features to help you get to the info more quickly (index, table of contents, headings, captions)<\/li>\n<li>Use websites that are REPUTABLE, where you know the information is true. Avoid .com endings, and look for endings such as .edu, .gov, and .org that represent better websites.<\/li>\n<li>When you go to find a website, start by using websites suggested by Ms. D on the Articles of Interest or during class. After that, you can use Google to search.<\/li>\n<li>When searching on Google, remember to think of synonyms for what you are searching for.<\/li>\n<li>When you get Google search results, be careful not to use results that say AD next to them, as those are ads. Also, don&#8217;t use the first website that is there &#8212; scroll down a bit to see what you find, and only use websites with reputable endings.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid wiki websites as those are group edited and not always reputable.<\/li>\n<li>If you get stuck, as for help! Be a good communicator!<\/li>\n<li>If a website doesn&#8217;t have what you want, don&#8217;t spend much time on it. There are many other websites out there.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t get distracted by videos &#8212; stick with reading rather than just going to YouTube and watching videos.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>How do you record a resource?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For a book:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Title of the book<\/li>\n<li>Name of the author or group that wrote the book<\/li>\n<li>Name of the publisher<\/li>\n<li>Where was it published<\/li>\n<li>Copyright date<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For a website:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Title of the Website<\/li>\n<li>Name of the article in quotes<\/li>\n<li>Name of the author (look at top and bottom of the article, or in the About Us section of the website)<\/li>\n<li>Date of the article (look at the top and bottom of the article &#8212; sometimes it will just say &#8216;last updated on&#8230;.&#8217; and that is okay to record for the date.)<\/li>\n<li>Date you were at that website (websites change all the time.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Good luck researching!<\/p>\n<p>Ms. D<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello Everyone!\u00a0 We went over some of these things today in class, as we start our research on HBC.
